Top 5 WWE Opponents For Rey Mysterio 

#1. Andrade "Cien" Almas

Smackdown Superstar Andrade "Cien" Almas

In a match handed down from the wrestling gods, Rey Mysterio vs Andrade "Cien" Almas is written in the stars. Almas, like Mysterio, was born into the luchador tradition. The son of Jose Andrade Salas, lucha libre is in Almas' blood.

Mysterio was also born into the lucha tradition and made his lucha debut in 1989 at the age of fourteen. That was the same year Almas was born.

Almas is the evolved luchador, the crossover between the traditional Mexican style of wrestling and a WWE Superstar. He is a marketable force and although he began his career wearing a mask, he swiftly removed it in favor of the lucrative riches of superstardom.

That fact isn't likely to sit well with the old school Mysterio. A luchador's mask is to be guarded like it's his own life and to discard it, is a sign of disrespect to the entire tradition. That is why luchadors traditionally only lose their mask when being defeated in a wrestling ring.

Furthermore, the Cien character has no respect for Mysterio. He has shown no respect for anyone else and nothing; but, contempt for each of his WWE opponents.

Almas doesn't idolize anyone except for himself, a fact that isn't lost on Mysterio, who is nothing if not respectful. In a clash of old school vs new school, Almas vs Mysterio is destiny in the making and sure to be one of the future's most eagerly anticipated WWE bouts.
